Asa of Skane

Asa of Skane (died 680) was the daughter of King Ingjald of Svibjod and the wife of King Guthroethr of Skane. Asa shared her father's psychopathic tendencies, and she convinced her husband to murder his brother Halfdan the Valiant before Asa had Guthroethr himself murdered. Ivar Vidfamne, the son of Halfdan, would invade Sweden to avenge his father's death, so Ingjald and Asa committed suicide by self-immolation, burning down their house with themselves inside it.
